| I am a very novice gardnener and I'm trying my hand at a salsa garden this summer. I planted various types of tomatoes, peppers, onions and cliantro. I now realize I should have used a bigger planter, or less veggies. Because there is such a variety of things growing, I am not sure what is what. Can anyone identify this plant for me? It almost looks like a weed, and I'm not sure if I should pull it? It is tall and has wispy, light purple flowers with no signs of veggies yet. Thanks so much! |

| Cilantro...fixing to go to seed. Don't know why cilantro likes cold weather when all the rest of the ingredients for salsa are hot weather plants! Pick the lower leaves, maybe freeze them until you have the rest of the ingredients. It may reseed and grow again, or it may wait to grow until cool weather this fall. |

| I agree with DixieGardner. I bought cilantro plants which looked just like that before I put them in the compost pile. :-( |
